Reginald VelJohnson and Eric Roberts reflect on their “Dancing with the Stars” season 33 experience following their double elimination on the Oct. 8 episode.

After “Soul Train Night” and “Hair Metal Night”, the actors found themselves at the bottom of the leaderboard.

Roberts and his professional partner Britt Stewart scored 46, while VelJohnson and his professional partner Emma Slater scored 42 — a far cry from the score of “Bachelor” alum Joey Graziadei and his professional partner Jenna Johnson’s score of 70, the highest of the night.

VelJohnson calls Slater ‘my forever friend’

VelJohnson and Slater then talked about the strong bond they formed as partners.

“Saying goodbye is going to be hard because I love her,” VelJohnson told “Good Morning America” after being eliminated.

Slater agreed, saying, “It will be very sad not to see him every day. That was the first thought that came to my mind. So we’ll have to make sure we see each other.’

The “Family Matters” alum called Slater “my forever friend” after their experience together.

“He’s definitely in my life forever,” Slater added, promising to continue their famous TikTok dances as they live close to each other.

“People have been missing Reggie on their TV screens, and this was a perfect opportunity for him to do something on a regular basis. Every week he graces the TV screens and a whole new generation of people has fallen in love with him – that and because of social media “, she said. “So I really hope that Reggie gets to stay on the TV screen and that all these floods of job offers come his way.”

Reflecting on their partnership, VelJohnson called Slater “cheerful,” while Slater described the “Die Hard” actor with the word “sunshine.”

Roberts reveals double date plans with Stewart and their partners

Roberts and Stewart also formed a close bond.

“It’s very sad because I’ve become so close to her, my wife and I so close to her and her fiancé (“CODA” actor Daniel Durant), that it will be like I’m divorced,” he said. “It’s not fun.”

However, Roberts revealed that he and his wife Eliza are already “double dating” with Stewart and Durant.

‘We’re planning a date to see Daniel. He’s doing ‘American Idiot’ in LA with Deaf West Theater,” Stewart said. “So we’re all going to support him, and then we’re going to hang out.”

Roberts said working with Stewart is like getting “a new family member.”

“I mean, we’re connected now, through thick and thin. We saw each other at our best, she saw me at my worst, and we survived, and we love each other for it,” says the ‘Runaway Train’ actor . said.

Stewart talked about working with Roberts, who she said is “very hard on herself.”

“I always tried to help him give himself a little grace through the whole process,” she said. “He has surprised me every step of the way, and also getting to know who he is as a person has also been a wonderful experience.”

“Surprising” was Stewart’s chosen word to describe Roberts, explaining that “when he really shows you his true self and what his heart is, that’s something you wouldn’t necessarily expect.”

For Roberts, his word to describe Stewart was “precious.” Why?

“Because she cares,” he said.
